Sights you mustn’t miss
Visit Broadway on the Beach, a 350-acre shopping extravaganza surrounding the 23-acre lake. Wile Mon shops, maybe Dad and the boys will want to check out the Hard Rock Café, or a couple how about Margaretville.
Then of course there’s the famous boardwalk and shops, and the Ferris wheel.
Fun things to do
Lets face it, Myrtle Beach is known for Sun, Sand and Golf. The Grand Stand is the mile-long famous beach. If you’re a golfer, or have never tried, this is a great place to start, with over 100 beautiful courses.
Maybe you’ve always wanted to try Scuba Diving. The diving off the coast is full of surprises, and may PADI Dive Shops offer discovery tours for beginners. And everyone has heard of the exciting new adventure,Zip lining, and this adventure in the sky has you soaring 1000 ft. over Lake Broadway.
Maybe take a spin on the famous SkyWheel and view Myrtle Beach from 196 feet above the ground.
Wine and Dine Tips
A very popular “fine dining” and romantic restaurant, The Brentwood Restaurant and Wine Bistro is a great choice, with French cuisine served in an old mansion.
Price $$$
Another outstanding place to wine and dine your favorite lady is the SeaBlue Wine Bar. From the moment you walk in you feel the sophistication and modern ambience. From the artwork decorating the walls, to the wine list, to dinner menu, with fresh lobster, shellfish, lamb, duck, etc.

Day Trips
A great adventure is a day at the NASCAR Races at the Myrtle Creek Raceway. Another favorite since the 1950’s is the 1-½ hour ride to South of the Boarder northwest of Myrtle Beach. A fake Mexican Village with its giant towering sombrero, petting zoo and fireworks, this attraction has been a stopping point for vacationers for a long time.
Visit Charleston and Fort Sumter, where the Civil War began, with its old historic buildings, museums and some excellent restaurants.
Where to Stay
The main draw to this famous beach town is the Grand Stand, a mile-long stretch of beach where vacationers can indulge in sunbathing, scuba diving and windsurfing. This area is considered prime real estate and hotels along this stretch of shoreline are extremely popular.
The Embassy Suites Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort is always popular and puts you only steps away from casino boat cruises and exquisite dining.
If you're after luxury, reserve a room at Marriott's Ocean Watch Vilas at Grande Dunes or the Hilton Myrtle Beach.
